In Minnesota, parts of state Routes 1, 92, 175, 220 and 317 have been shut down due to flooding, as well as sections of U.S. Highways 2B and 75.
Check out the work being done to fight the floodwaters on I-29 by our Grand Forks crew! They have been out installing water barriers at mile 166, just south of the /Minto exit to keep traffic safe, and moving. #DriveSafe /K9jfjHT75P

Several places on the Red River and its tributaries have been at major flood stage for at least a week. The National Weather Service is forecasting the Red River to reach a record-tying flood stage of 46 feet at Grand Forks on Wednesday.
Other places at major flood stage, from north to south, include Pembina (at the Canadian border), Drayton and Oslo.
Spots along the James, Pembina and Sheyenne rivers are also at major flood stage.
Despite dry weather the next few days, these waterways may keep rising in some areas, with rain possibly returning this weekend.
